Jeanne Tripplehorn Debuts on Criminal Minds: Hit or Miss?

The Criminal Minds Season 8 premiere tossed Jeanne Tripplehorn right into the thick of it, as the new cast member - in the role of BAU member Alex Blake - helped the team investigate The Silencer, a murderer who sews the mouths of his victims shut.

Pretty standard for this CBS procedural, really.

What did you think of the show's return? Of the Case of the Week? And of Tripplehorn's debut in particular?
